Event: Calophylla
10 AM
Orienteering 56:30 [4] 8.41 km (6:43 / km) +222m 5:56 / km
shoes: O-Roc 340
300m was never going to be enough warm-up, so I started fairly gently, but struggled through the first 8 or so controls physically as it wasn't as open as I'd been hoping.
No biggies today, but a couple of direction fails mid-leg added a bit of zig-zagging and a few brain fails between attack point and control led to some 30second-ish time losses.
Achilles good. Comfortably my best race this year. Just need to start concentrating a bit better near controls (and training).
Thanks Graham. Fun course.

run 33:38 [3] 7.05 km (4:46 / km) +57m 4:35 / km
shoes: Saucony Cortana
Little morning jog to try out some new shoes. Slightly different tack to the Kayanos and Salvations that haven't agreed with the orthotics and my achilles. Will need to ease into these ones as the heel is a fair bit lower than the other shoes I've been in recently, but I figure with the heel lift on my orthotics it just puts me back to where everyone else is (insert angry rant from Jacko here)

run 46:15 [2] 9.24 km (5:00 / km) +58m 4:51 / km
shoes: Salamon XT Wings
Easy morning jog. Left achilles a little niggly for much of the run unfortunately, and the right one joined in in the last few km without ever really developing into anything. Ice now, nurofen later and maybe take it easy until the weekend.
Legs felt a little weary after yesterday's strange activity.

cycle (Floreat renegade) 1:31:49 [4] 46.0 km (2:00 / km)
shoes: Avanti Blade
Only real thought for today's effort was to see how long I could go without being dropped. Helped slightly by an absence of Boltboi, meaning I only had to keep up with Karl, Chris and Shanel.
Felt OK for most of it, though never really contemplated going to the front and got dropped on the Leighton sprint.
OK up the first climb, but then something strange happened to my bike and any time I tried to freewheel, I dropped the chain completely. After a bit of faffing around and when I was about to give up and roll gently home, it seemed to come good again just in time for the next climb.
Did my token stint on the front as a leadout for the UWA sprint. Might have just about held on if I knew where the finish line was, but that cooked me so bad that I could barely get to the top of a hill between there and the end of the ride. Quads are trashed now, and I feel like going back to bed.
